7:03 am
cnn, the most trusted name in jazz. >> this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota, let's go places. welcome to cbs this morning. hipster phrase book. >> i was actually looking down when jake said that and i looked up and said, did he just say that? i see why it caught stephen colbert's attention. >> caught a lot of people's attention. >> norah is on assignment for "60 minutes" so bianna golodryga is with us. good to have you as always. >> good to be back. >> two powerful winter storm systems are targeting tens of millions of people across the u.s. this morning. heavy snow and high winds are causing blizzard conditions in parts of the plains and upper midwest. some places have up to 9 inches of snow and more is falling fast. >> oh, boy. to east, crews are scrambling to repair downed power lines ahead of another massive winter storm. more than 200,000 customers are
7:04 am
still without electricity today after last week's deadly nor'easter. >> the system is forming off the coast and will reach the northeast later today. it will bring heavy snow and wind gusts up to 60 miles per hour. demarco morgan is in sandwich, massachusetts, where coastal flooding is a major concern. >> just take a look at what's left of this home right here. you can see through the first level and also through the basement after last week's storm. this is what happened. 90-mile-per-hour wind gust, dangerous storm surge and historic coastal flooding. to make matters worse, 300 homes up and down this coastal line here are now at risk of flooding as well with this new storm that is heading in our direction. nearby duxbury, 30% of the seawall is compromised. they are preparing for heavy flooding in that area. when you talk about communities that are not along the water, they are dealing with power outages. we're talking about 20,000 in one community alone that are dealing without power.
7:05 am
and power may not be restored until some time this saturday. >> demarco, thank you. chief weathercaster lonnie quinn is tracking the storm and wet weather out west. lonnie, a lot to be covering here across the country. >> i think the big weather story, at least for the eastern half of the country, the fact you're talking about a second nor'easter within five days. we're looking at two pieces of the puzzle. one north, one south. they merge around the chesapeake. this is the uncanny part. they then push into the atlantic ocean. they will travel look the exact track as the storm took on fright. so there's places that were ravaged on friday. are going to have another difficult tile. it is forecast to be a little bit weaker storm. if it tracks closer to shore, this white line, you get more rain, that's not the way we see it right now. we think this storm is going to bring more snow to places. for the big places, philadelphia, new york city, boston, all of those are in like a 6 to 12 inch range.
7:06 am
i think a pretty good number to use is about 8 inches for those spots. hartford connecticut, about a foot of snow. albany, a foot of snow. somewhere in the catskills and the berkshire, the pink color you see there, that's about, well, 16 inches of snow and some spots could see 20 inches. as for you on the west coast, you've got your storms as well. take a look at all this tropical moisture. boy, there is a lot of it. it is moving in the direction initially northern california and the pacific northwest. looks like wednesday night, going into thursday morning. and then you can take a look at what happens from there. mountain snows take place. we're looking at maybe 1 to 2 inches of rain. then the mountains pick up their fair share of the white stuff. the big picture shows you more wet weather is moving in with a second system as you push towards the weekend, gayle. >> boy, lonnie, thanks. we're following major developments on the korean peninsula this morning. after an historic meeting. south korea says north korean dictator kim jong-un said the north would be willing to give up its nuclear weapons if certain conditions are guaranteed.
7:07 am
he also agreed to halt nuclear missile tests if the u.s. holds talks with his regime. north and south korea also agreed to hold a summit next month. >> a short time ago on twitter, president trump called the report possible progress and said the world is watching and waiting. maybe false hope, but the u.s. is ready to go in either direction. ben tracy is in beijing with what this potential breakthrough means. ben, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. these are really extraordinary developments with north korea. the regime is now apparently saying that it won't use nuclear or conventional weapons on south korea. it's also saying that it doesn't even need its nuclear weapons at all if it is given a security guarantee. although it's not entirely clear what that means. now, all of this comes after this extraordinary meeting between kim jong-un and a delegation from south korea that took place in pyongyang on monday. their dinner together included kim jong-un's wife and is said
7:08 am
to have lasted for more than four hours. north korean state media says that kim says he hopes to write a new history of national reunification. all of this could complicate the trump administration strategy of isolating north korea with sanctions. the u.s. has said it is open to diplomacy but only if north korea abandoned its nuclear weapons program first. now, part of that delegation to north korea was south korea's head of national intelligence. he is now likely to be able to give u.s. officials a good read on kim jong-un's state of mind and whether these rather extraordinary promises are to be believed. john. >> ben tracy in beijing. these are extraordinary developments. this is essentially what the administration has been asking for, to get to the table. thanks so much, ben. a former trump campaign aide who spent hours telling the world would challenge special counsel robert mueller now says he plans to cooperate with him. sam nunberg started a massive media barrage yesterday after getting a subpoena to testify to
7:09 am
a grand jury and provide information. >> noneburg said it was, quote, ridiculous for mueller to ask for all his communications with the president and nine other people going back to november 2015. at one point, he dared mueller to have him arrested. but late last night, nunberg said he would find a way to hand over the information. paula reid is at the white house with the significance of his extraordinary outburst and extraordinary is an understatement given his performance last night, paula, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. legal experts tell me this is indeed a high-risk maneuver by nunberg. because if he does not fully cooperate with the special counsel's office, they could choose to make an example out of him. they could try to hold him in contempt and that comes with possible jail time. >> mr. mueller, if he wants to send me to jail he can send me to jail and then i'll laugh. >> reporter: during a whirlwind tour on cable news, he insisted he would defy a subpoena from mueller. >> i'm not going to spend 80 hours going over e-mails.
7:10 am
i'm not going to go into a grand jury -- >> reporter: by monday night, he appeared to have had a change of heart. >> i would be willing to go in for testimony. i want it to be fair. >> reporter: in an apparent subpoena from the special counsel, nunberg was asked to turn over records of communication with the president and his inner circle, including hope hicks, steve bannon and former trump campaign adviser roger stone. >> they definitely have roger stone's e-mails. they asked me questions about roger and me that they would only have had roger's e-mails. >> reporter: stone admitted to being in contact with wikileaks which published thousands of e-mails hacked from the clinton campaign by russia. but stone has denied any knowledge of russian collusion during the 2016 election. >> there's all kinds of questions that could come out of those e-mails, assuming he produced them. >> reporter: kim wehle is a formfor former federal prosecutor who says his e-mails --
7:11 am
>> it's better to comply in these circumstances. >> reporter: nunberg was fired in august of 2015, just two months after it officially launched. he didn't hide his feelings about his former boss. >> do you know the way i've been treated by donald trump? i mean, i hate the guy. >> reporter: previously interviewed by federal investigators for more than five hours, nunberg believes mueller may have evidence that the president has committed a crime. >> trump may have very well done something during the election with the russians. >> reporter: the special counsel's office has declined to comment on nunberg's allegations but the white house is pushing back. press secretary sanders says nunberg's claim the president may have committed a crime is incorrect. and said once again that there was no collusion with russia. gayle. >> okay, thank you, paula. president trump is not letting gop criticism defeat him from u.s. tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. house speaker ryan says he's worried about the consequences
7:12 am
of the plan. others want to stop the tariffs altogether. chip reid is at the white house wl with the latest. >> reporter: white house press secretary sanders says the president doesn't have to agree. she says the president is committed to imposing these tariffs and to fulfill a campaign promise to protect the steel industry. >> no, we're not backing down. >> reporter: president trump doubled down on his pledge to slap steep tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, alarming republicans who fear a trade war that could wipe out economic gains. >> i don't think you -- >> reporter: while the president dismissed it, republican leaders in both houses are exploring ways to block or scale back the tariffs if the president follows through. >> nobody ever wins trade wars. >> reporter: arizona senator jeff flake. >> trade wars are only lost by all involved, and the president continues to treat trade as a zero sum game. >> reporter: house speaker paul
7:13 am
ryan's office said they were urging the white house to not advance with this plan. >> our country on trade has been ripped off by virtually every country in the world. whether it's friend or enemy. everybody. >> reporter: the president says the tariffs will help rescue the steel and aluminum industries. but a study released monday predicted they would lead to a loss of nearly 150,000 jobs. the proposed tariffs would primarily hit longtime u.s. allies, canada, britain, germany, south korea and japan. the european union has said it will retaliate by taxing american imports. president trump said he'd respond by slapping tariffs on car imports from the eu. >> if they want to do something, we'll just tax their cars that they send in here like water. >> reporter: president trump also spoke with canadian prime minister justin trudeau about trade yesterday, trudeau's office says he told the president he has serious concern about these tariffs on steel and aluminum.
7:14 am

♪ good morning to our viewers in the west. it's tuesday, march 6th, 2018. welcome back to "cbs this morning." ahead, a surprising reversal from north korea's dictator. why south korea says kim jong-un may be willing to curb his nuclear weapons program. and oprah winfrey kicks off a big week here in studio 57. she'll preview her new movie "a wrinkle in time," but first, here's today's eye opener a the 8:00. >> blizzard conditions in parts of the midwest. some places have up to nine inches of snow and more is falling fast. >> 300 homes up and down this coastal line here are now at risk of flooding as well with this new storm. >> they merge around the chesapeake. this is the uncanny part.
8:01 am
they then push into the atlantic ocean, and they will travel almost the exact track as the storm took on friday. >> the regime is now saying that it won't use nuclear or conventional weapons on south korea. it's also saying that it doesn't even need its nuclear weapons if it is given a security guarantee. >> legal experts tell me this is indeed a high-risk maneuver because if he does not fully cooperate with the special counsel's office, they could choose to make an example out of him. >> sarah sanders said the president is committed to imposing these tariffs as a matter of national and economic security. >> microsoft co-founder paul allen has announced he'll invest $125 million to teach artificial intelligence machines common sense. i'm not sure i like the idea of inanimate objects of having common sense. i don't need my refrigerator to be like, yeah, maybe you don't need anymore ice cream.
8:02 am
>> nobody i know wants a talking refrigerator. he's on to something about that. i'm gayle king with john dickerson. norah is on assignment for "60 minutes." we begin with this. two powerful winter storm systems are targeting tens of millions of people in the u.s. just days after a deadly nor'easter slammed the east. heavy snow fell across parts of the northern plains and midwest overnight. some places have nine inches. >> that storm will merge with another system to form a nor'easter off the chesapeake bay. it will bring snow, strong wind, and coastal flooding. some parts of northern new england and upstate new york could see 16 inches of snow. new york city could get eight inches. crews are rushing to repair power lines ahead of the storm. more than 200,000 people are still without electricity after friday's nor'easter. north korea says it may be willing to give up its nuclear weapons if certain security conditions are met. north korean leader kim jong-un
8:03 am
held unprecedented talks yesterday in pyongyang with south korean officials. the two sides agreed to hold what will be an historic summit next month. kim also said he would halt nuclear and missile tests if the united states holds talks with his country. ben tracy is with us in beijing. ben, this is a big departure from what north korea has been saying. what do we know about the meeting where this happened? >> reporter: if these promises by north korea are to be believed, this is a very big breakthrough. basically the south koreans are saying that during this meeting they had with kim jong-un, that the north koreans promised that they would not use nuclear or conventional weapons on south korea. they said they would even consider giving up their nuclear weapons program, the whole thing, if military threats against north korea can be resolved. but keep in mind that north korea has repeatedly said it won't put its nuclear weapons program on the negotiating table, and it is not clear why
8:04 am
their position has suddenly changed. this meeting was the first time kim jong-un has ever met with a delegation from the south. perhaps he really came to make progress and not just exchange pleasantries. >> and american officials are always wary of the fact that north korea has shifting and multiple positions. isn't this exactly what the united states hoped would happen in terms of north korea and their evolution? >> reporter: yeah, this is pretty much exactly what the trump administration has been asking for in terms of north korea being willing to halt its missile tests, for it to be willing to talk about negotiating its weapons program. the big question is the u.s. will need to decide if it's still willing to go through with planned military exercises with south korea. those were postponed during the olympics, but they're set to resume in early april. that would be just as north and south korea are preparing for the summit they just agreed to. what we also don't know is if north korea is going to ask for any relief from international sanctions before it would make good on any of these promises.
8:05 am
the trump administration has consistently said it's not going to back off its program of what it calls maximum pressure on north korea until it's willing to give up its weapons. >> ben tracey in beijing. thanks. careful early dance steps. maybe something more there. >> to be continued for sure. voters in texas are heading to the polls today in statewide primary elections, and there are more than 160 women competing in local, state, and federal primaries. all part of a national wave of women seeking public office. some of them for the first time. jan crawford visits dallas -- visited dallas, rather, to meet four first-time female candidates. she's with us now from capitol hill. jan, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. you know, look, women make up more than half of the country, but less than 20% of the lawmakers here on capitol hill. in texas, those numbers are even lower. this year, women across texas and across the country are
8:06 am
trying to change that. for first-time candidates running for office is a baptism by fire. >> hi, how are you? >> to be a candidate, you blow open your comfort zone. >> being the first in actually running is a lot different. >> reporter: julie johnson and ana maria ramos are democrats running for the texas legislature. republicans julie johnson and jen sarver are running for congress. they agree it's time for different politics. >> people want somebody to solve problems and get things done. that's a characteristic you hear about women running. >> all that is happening is bickering and fighting. you know, we have kids that bicker and fight, and we solve that every day. >> reporter: nearly 500 women are likely running for congress, a new record. roughly 200 more are exploring bids for statewide offices. nearly 70% are democrats. debbie walsh tracks female candidates at the center for american women in politics. >> we saw this increase start to happen almost immediately after the 2016 presidential election, and i think much of this has been in response to the election
8:07 am
of donald trump. >> reporter: for johnson and ramos, hillary clinton's defeat felt personal. >> i was devastated. i was devastated. i didn't immediately decide i needed to run. i just knew that i needed to bump it up a notch. >> the women's march was really instrumental march after march of cities all across the country. and this outpouring of women saying enough is enough. >> reporter: the increase in republican women running has been much smaller. but blanco and sarver also found it in 2016. >> i don't like the tone of the party. do i step back and wait or try and dive in and make it better? i want to stand next to the president and praise the policies i agree with when he's governing with conservative principles, but be willing to call out the politics and rhetoric. >> i think that our party's
8:08 am
forgetting that it is the women, the republican party has so many republican women clubs everywhere. and they're actually the heartbeat of everything. >> if we sat down and had coffee together, even though we're republicans and democrats, we could come up with some very meaningful solutions. >> i think that's exactly why we're seeing so many women run. >> thank you for your support. >> reporter: now these women have obvious differences on policy questions, the size of government, and they're in competitive races like most candidates across the country. regardless of whether they win or lose, they said they are going to keep working to find solutions. >> big changes in my home state. jan, thank you. oprah winfrey went to the city where she grew up to find out about a revolutionary approach to treating childhood trauma. oprah, as you see, is in our toyota green room with her bestie, gayle, for a preview of her "60 minutes" interview -- >> over there, there. >> hi! continue talking. you've got a few minutes. we'll also talk about her movie "a wrinkle in time," wonderful movie.

8:19 am
the thing that is where the wounds started, you're working at the wrong thing. so it's changed the way i operate my school. we've become, as a result of this piece that i did on "60 minutes," i went back to my board and said, hey, we've been doing it all wrong. we need to be a trauma-informed care institution. >> one child welfare agency in milwaukee said that they even changed their approach it a child instead of what's wrong to you to what happened. >> i have to say that was the life-changing question that -- that my -- my whole sense has responded to. we go through life and see kids who are misbehaving. you juvenile delinquents, we label them. really the question that we should be asking is not what's wrong with that child but what happened to that child. then having the resources to be able to address what happened to you. the most important question you can ask of anybody which is what i now say even for the parkland shooting. instead of what's the matter
8:20 am
with that kid, i say what happened to that child? >> it's a personal story for you. number one, it's in milwaukee where you were raised. you certainly suffered trauma there. you weren't physically abused in your home, but you talk candidly about -- >> i got enough whippings to call it -- we didn't call it physical abuse at the time. >> a whipping. >> today i would have to report my mama. >> today it would be. you've been candid about the sexual abuse. and a lot of these kids suffer from ptsd. i marvel, oprah, that the environment you grew up in, that you don't seem to have suffered from ptsd. are you rethinking that? >> no, i -- i definitely do not have ptsd. the reason i didn't -- i asked bruce perry this question, head of the child trauma institute, how come some kids like myself raised in chaotic environments, turn on the to be okay? it's directly proportional to the relationships. so he was saying for me, for instance, it was school. i found my refuge in school, i found my place in school from teachers. everybody needs somebody growing
